Abstract
We present the final results of the spin asymmetries and the spin structure functions of the proton and the deuteron in the kinematic range and For the determination of in addition to the usual method which employs inclusive scattering events and includes a large radiative background at low x, we use a new method which minimizes the radiative background by selecting events with at least one hadron as well as a muon in the final state. We find that this hadron method gives smaller errors for so it is combined with the usual method to provide the optimal set of results.
